<h1>Writing to Nodes using the Generic Client</h1>
<p>The client provides the ability to write 1...n nodes in a single call.</p>
<p>Simply locate a node within the address-space browser and then right-click 
 and choose <span style="font-weight: bold;">Write </span>from the context-menu. 
 The following multi-step dialog will open:</p>
<h3>Step 1 - Choose the Nodes to Write to</h3>
<p class="Picture"><img src="image66.gif" alt="" style="border: none;" 
						 border="0" /></p>
<p>Within this dialog you can navigate and select the nodes from the left-side 
 of the dialog by dragging-n-dropping them into the right-side of the dialog.</p>
<p>Right-clicking on a node on the right-side will yield this context-menu: 
 </p>
<p class="Picture"><img src="image67.gif" alt="" style="border: none;" 
						 border="0" /></p>
<h4>New</h4>
<p class="Picture"><img src="image68.gif" alt="" style="border: none;" 
						 border="0" /></p>
<p>Adds a new node to the list of selected nodes.</p>
<h4>Edit</h4>
<p class="Picture"><img src="image69.gif" alt="" style="border: none;" 
						 border="0" /></p>
<p>Edits the currently node allowing you to specify exactly which attribute 
 to write to, and if it is the value attribute (and the node is an array) 
 then you can specify the index range (positions within the array) to write 
 to.</p>
<h4>Edit Value</h4>
<p class="Picture"><img src="image70.gif" alt="" style="border: none;" 
						 border="0" /></p>
<p>A simple dialog where you can modify the value of the node.</p>
<h4>Delete</h4>
<p>Removes the currently selected node from the list of nodes.</p>
<h3>Invoking the Write</h3>
<p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;">Next</span> to invoke the Write.</p>
<h2>Step 2 - Write</h2>
<p class="Picture"><img src="image71.gif" alt="" style="border: none;" 
						 border="0" /></p>
<p>This dialog shows the nodes that were written to on the left, and the 
 results of each write operation on the right.</p>
<p>Clicking the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Write</span> button will 
 invoke another write operation.</p>
<p>Right-clicking on a node (left side of the window) will open a context-sensitive 
 menu as described above.</p>
